We talked a lot this week about how we played in the first quad. The girls decided they wanted to make something out of the season, and they came out ready to play.

I am really proud of the way the girls rebounded from the first meet of the season. The way they played in Holcomb says a lot about their mental toughness.

We looked shaky in the first game. When we were down five in the second match, the girls came together and played really well. They took it upon themselves to go out and get the win.

Both girls will play important roles this season, ... Kristen has great hands and court awareness, while
Sarah is another powerful hitter for us.

The girls fought until the end, so I have to be happy about that, ... We held them and had a little run (at the end), but it's hard to come back. We just have to keep fighting, go point by point, stay aggressive and play smart.
